Running in Windows 7 Pro Scheduled Task

[Keith Oakley]

We run a backup routine at our customer sites each night.  I am having troubles getting mailsend to work properly when running as a Scheduled Task.  My format for sending the email is correct as I can run the batch file manually and it works.

However, when it runs from a scheduled task, it just flies on by and never sends the email.  I have even compiled the batch file into an EXE file and it does the same thing.

I have also tried giving the batch and mailsend Administrative Properties.  Tried running it in XP 3 compatibility mode.  Nothing I try seems to get it working.

Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Thank you.

Which version are you using? 

Thanks

I am using version 1.17b1.  I should have added it worked 1 time after I gave it administrative properties but will not run again.

I just added a program to make it wait 5 seconds before and after the command is run in the batch file.  For some reason, it is not recognizing it as a command when it runs.  However, if you go to a command prompt and run it, it works perfectly.

Just in case anyone else has this problem, I fixed it.  For some reason, even though mailsend.exe was in the same folder as the batch file.  I had to add c:\batch\mailsend to the line, instead of just running mailsend and it's parameters.  I guess the scheduler was looking for it in the path.  I could have probably moved it to the system32 folder to make it work, but this is working and I am going to leave it as is.
